My Two Cents Campaign to Get Gore to Run

[SharonRB]

An e-mail today from Karen Wunderman of algore.org:

Dear Organizers--
The America for Gore Coalition (of which AlGore.org is a member) is dedicated to making Al Gore the Democratic candidate for President in 2008. At present, we're working to get Gore’s name on as many state primary ballots as possible, and we continue to work to show support for his candidacy.

Time is growing short, and we all need to act NOW to demonstrate our support so that Gore understands how much the country wants him as its next president.

To convince Gore to step into the race, we've launched the "My Two Cents" campaign. We're asking all Gore supporters to mail him two pennies, together with a note indicating that real financial support will be provided if he accepts the challenge and runs for president. We believe that the mountain of pennies his office will receive will be a constant reminder to Mr. Gore that America needs and wants him to run. Please send a letter telling the Vice President why you want him to be our next president, and enclose two pennies, explaining that you'll send more when he announces his candidacy. Mail letters to: Office of the Honorable Al Gore2100 West End Avenue, Suite 620Nashville, TN 37203.

1. Gore, please.

Seriously: Please serve, Mr. Gore. I know it's late, but you care enough to deal with that.

2. I'm right there with you. Please, sir. Run.

3. Sometimes, government transcends political horse races.

Statesmen rise above politicians in times of crisis.

If politicians are people running for office, and statesmen are people running from office, our need for statesmen (men or women) has rarely been as acute in our history as it is right now.
